Types of scheduling techniques

We need to use project scheduling techniques or planning strategies in a project to align all its features so that it works seamlessly. The plan must be within the scope of the project and all its resources must be used efficiently. Given the flexibility of the project and its scope, it is difficult to plan it, but we are expected to do it because we are the ones who will be held accountable.

A proposed improvement will widen a two-lane rural highway from 9-ft-wide (per lane) to 11-ft-wide (per lane) if the highway has an AADT of 2100 veh/day. If there are an average of 25 crashes per year on the segment proposed for improvement, and 67% of the crashes are of the type targeted by the improvement, estimate the expected number of crashes (per year) after the improvement is constructed.
The relationship between flow and density on a four-lane highway (two lanes per direction) is known to follow GreenShiled's model, with a free flow speed of 100 km/h and a jam density of 80 veh/km/lane. One of the two lanes of the EB direction will be closed for an entire month for maintenance. The traffic demand for the highway on a typical weekday is shown in the table below. a) What is the maximum length of the queue upstream of the bottleneck during both the morning and afternoon peak hours? b) At what time will the morning and afternoon queues be dissipated? c) Draw the shock wave diagram (for the entire day) showing shock wave speeds, critical times, and distances.

A 1.5-mile section of a two-lane road has an AADT of 10,000. In a three-year period, there have been 6 fatal accidents and 12 non-fatal accidents. The state allows 350 accidents per 100 mvm for three years, of which 100 are fatal. For which value of confidence level, this highway is considered safe? If the following countermeasures are implemented: widening the existing lane by 2 feet, and widening the existing shoulder by 2 feet paved, and widening the clear zone by 5 feet, what will be the number of accidents reduced if the AADT became 12,000?
A gravity retaining wall is shown in the figure below.

At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poisson process. Vehicles are counted in 20-second s are intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive.

[T] The following table provides hypothetical data regarding the level of service for a certain highway. Plot vehicles per hour per lane on the x-axis and highway speed on the y-axis. Compute the average decrease in speed (in miles per hour) per unit increase in congestion (vehicles per hour per lane) as the latter increases from 600 to 1000, from 1000 to 1500, and from 1500 to 2100. Does the decrease in miles per hour depend linearly on the increase in vehicles per hour per lane? Plot minutes per mile (60 times the reciprocal of miles per hour) as a function of vehicles per hour per lane. Is this function linear?

Question 3 An accident on a freeway of constant flow (arrival rate) of 2430 vehicles per hour occurred at a point X closing the freeway to all morning traffic at 07h00. At 07h15 the freeway is partially opened with a capacity of 1900 vehicles per hour. Finally, the wreckage is removed and, the freeway is restored to a full capacity of 4200 vehicles per hour at 07h35. Assuming a deterministic queue model, (i) graphically illustrate the above traffic flow information (ii) determine the following: - time of queue dissipation ongest queue length - total delay average delay per vehicle - longest wait of any vehicle, assuming a first-in-first-out departure scenario. -
